He is dressed in traditional white finery with a saffron sash and a jeweled turban, holding a walking stick—a symbol of gentlemanly status in the late 19th century. Notably, a golden halo glows behind his head, a traditional artistic convention used to signify his supreme power or semi-divine status. The composition, featuring pink roses at his feet and a vase on a side table, reflects the aesthetic of the British Raj era, where Indian courtly splendor met Victorian formality.
